Some Sunday's the sermon is not about love and forgiveness, although that message is always out there for all to receive if you put forth the effort to listen.   Messages of warning are also out there.  As our country and the world falls further away from Christ, the end of times draw nearer.  Fewer and fewer are ready for judgement. The wrath of God for those disinclined to even try to seek Him will be punishment like no other. For far too many, Heaven and Hell are just a myth.  But what if it is all true?  It really isn't that difficult to open your mind and seek the truth for yourself rather than just ignore it.  I would suggest that it is worth the effort to seek Him in order to avoid the consequences of not even having tried.  It is one thing to die having not been saved - but to be alive during the final judgement will be Hell on Earth. 
Revelation 6:1     And I saw  when the Lamb opened  one of the seals, and I heard , as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying , Come  and see .             2     And I saw , and behold  a white horse: and he that sat  on him had  a bow; and a crown was given  unto him: and he went forth  conquering , and to conquer .             3     And when he had opened  the second seal, I heard  the second beast say , Come  and see .             4     And there went out  another horse that was red: and power was given  to him that sat  thereon to take  peace from the earth, and that they should kill  one another: and there was given  unto him a great sword.             5     And when he had opened  the third seal, I heard  the third beast say , Come  and see . And I beheld , and lo  a black horse; and he that sat  on him had  a pair of balances in his hand.             6     And I heard  a voice in the midst of the four beasts say , A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt  not the oil and the wine.             7     And when he had opened  the fourth seal, I heard  the voice of the fourth beast say , Come  and see .             8     And I looked , and behold  a pale horse: and his name that sat  on him was Death, and Hell followed  with him. And power was given  unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill  with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.             9     And when he had opened  the fifth seal, I saw  under the altar the souls of them that were slain  for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held :             10     And they cried  with a loud voice, saying , How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou  not judge  and avenge  our blood on them that dwell  on the earth?             11     And white robes were given  unto every one of them; and it was said  unto them, that they should rest  yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should  be killed  as   they were, should be fulfilled .             12     And I beheld  when he had opened  the sixth seal, and, lo , there was  a great earthquake; and the sun became  black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became  as blood;             13     And the stars of heaven fell  unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth  her untimely figs, when she is shaken  of a mighty wind.             14     And the heaven departed  as a scroll when it is rolled together ; and every mountain and island were moved  out of their places.             15     And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid  themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;             16     And said  to the mountains and rocks, Fall  on us, and hide  us from the face of him that sitteth  on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:             17     For the great day of his wrath is come ; and who shall be able  to stand ?

Have a blessed and productive week John!
But will "they" take the time to read the words or hear the call of their hearts.
Well said
We must be there because the horsemen are riding.
Pope Francis must not be reading Revelations much lately. In today's news he's quoted as saying that gay priests should be tolerated. Will wonders never cease??
...the end of times draws nearer.

"pamit" The Popes stance is nothing new for the Catholic church they have a policy of love the sinner hate the sin. The Popes comment in no way means that he condone the act of homosexuality. It just means that if you are light in loafers and that you keep your urges in check the he does not have the right to judge.
